Role: Researcher

Dr. Cathryn Birch is a tenure-tracked Academic Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. Her main expertise is in process study within dynamical meteorology using high-resolution weather and climate models. Recent work has focused on monsoons, tropical convection and land-surface interaction in West Africa, India and Southeast Asia. She works closely with the Met Office to diagnose the causes of biases in their suite of weather and climate models and to use them for the study of mesoscale processes within tropical environments
